Episode 616 - Group Text Step Back

June 29, 2026 · 58 min

Show notes

On today’s show, we take your questions on how to gracefully step back from a family group text during a difficult time without seeming uncaring, what a new grandchild should call a step-grandmother who joined the family later in life, and whether it’s truly poor etiquette to say “Congratulations!” when someone gets engaged. For Community Members, your bonus question is about e-bike safety etiquette. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, an etiquette salute from Allie, and a postscript segment on Hostesses from Emily’s first edition of Etiquette.
